buying shoes

I was on a mission the other day to buy Clayton some shoes. What a fiasco.

I'm curious what sizes everyone's LO's are in.

I aqueezed him into a 5 (it was a little hard to put on) and from what I could tell there was about a thumb width in the toes for him to grow. The 6's went on so easy, but I thik they were a bit too big. So I didn't get either size. They need to make half sizes. ggrrr.....

We have the same problem. I think she should be in a 3 but because her chunks are hard to squeeze in she is in a 4. It's got about a half an inch room in the front, but she seems to be walking fine in them! (maybe we won't have to buy new shoes as often if we buy them with room to grow)

Some brands do make half sizes. Aison is in a 4 right now, but I just bought him some Stride Right in a 41/2 and seem to fit well and there is extra room. I bought mine at Dillards, they have a good selection of kids shoes and most of them come in half sizes. Good luck!

Yeah, we're all about Stride Rite. they are more expensive, but they have people working there that know what they are doing. THey measured Owen and he measured right at 5, they actually tell us to get at least half a size bigger so they don't grow out of them too fast! We tried on 5.5 and 6, the 6's were too big for him to walk comfortably. this is the only pair of shoes he has, so the $35 wasn't a big deal. his first pair of shoes were 4s (we rarely put shoes on him before he walked) and my mom bought them for him, they were the only ones he wore until we bought this last pair. what I like about Stride Rite shoes too is that they have a removable insert that have a line on them to show you if they are too small yet.

Thanks ladies!I'll have to see if there's a Stride-Rite here and try them. Clayton usually never wears shoes unless we're going somewhere that he'll be on a dirty floor. I generally put him in his Robeez, but want to get at least 1 pair of hard-soled shoes, especially now that it's getting warmer out and we'll be hopefully going on walks soon!

Wow! Now I'm really beginning to feel like Liam has monster feet! lol. He is measuring in a size 6, but his feet are so thick, it's a chore to get in 6's, so we buy 7's. He currently has a pair of Stride Rite tennis shoes that I ordered off ebay, (like new condition, $14!). They are a tad big like I said, but he walks fine in them and I'm hoping they'll last all summer.

That's a cool piece of info: 1/2 size every 3 months.I haven't done the Stride Right thing yet. I've been finding shoes off ebay - looking for the deals! Maybe for this summer I'll get her a pair for everyday play outside shoes.

We buy shoes big so that they last for a while. As long as she can move easily/ comfortably, the stride rite people said it was ok. Daphne is between a 5 1/2 and a 6. We just got summer shoes in a size 6, but her winter stride rites are a 6 1/2. She has had no problems in them. We only got 6's this time because there were no half sizes and the low tops fall off if they are two big. (We got chucks for summer!)

A size 4 is still a little bit big for Grace unless she has thicker socks on. But a size3 is too small...so I agree that half sizes would make things a lot easier. We also have trouble with shoes because at most stores a 4 is an infant size, while a 5 is a toddler size, and so they don't make a lot of styles small enough for Grace. We could not get her any snow boots because it was impossible to find anything smaller than a 5.Â

We got Jackson's feet measure the other day at payless and they said he was a 5 1/2 and the sales lady told me to buy a half size bigger so they have some room to grow so he is in all 6's now! i like payless because they do offer wide sizes which is nice because he has some chunky feet. i have also gotten him a few pairs of shoes at walmart and on the bottom they have a clear rubber window under the toes so you can actually SEE where LOs toe is instead of trying to feel it, which is really nice.

Wow my son must have huge feet because he measured at 7 1/2 but I was in disbelief because jua a few months ago he was only a 5. But sure enough I put a 6 on him and it was too tight. I thought a 7 1/2 looked too ridiculously huge compared to his legs so I got him a 7 instead...

Kaylin is between a 4-4 1/2. Her regular Nike are 4 but her Nike Shox are 4 1/2. I guess it depends on the shoe. She can also fit into her 3's still but only in the dressier shoes. Her 3 Tennis shoes are way too small.
